About the Report


Oil India Limited (OIL) aims to create value for its stakeholders, develop new opportunities to generate
prosperity, enhance quality of life, and resolve risks and threats to sustainability in the context of social
aspects, environmental conservation and long-term economic growth. The management of OIL has
been extensively working to streamline its organizational and operational processes to meet global
sustainability standards. Such an endeavour is a continuous process and is achieved over a period of
time. We have already begun our journey towards being sustainability driven organization though our
increased focus on renewables and ensuring our environmental, social and economic performance has a
wider impact on society. This third edition of our sustainability maintains our transparency representing
all sustainable development. Since this is our third year, the complexity of the report has increased as
we are in a position to disclose more information than in the previous two years. To help stakeholders
successfully navigate this report we request them to go over the following parameters that define this
report.

GRI Guidelines

In Accordance with Core

The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a non-profit


organization that produces one of the worlds most
prevalent standards for sustainability reporting. A
sustainability report is an organizational report that
gives information about economic, environmental,
social and governance performance. The 20142015 sustainability report of Oil India Limited
will be our third using the GRI G4 guidelines
for reporting. The report has been prepared In
Accordance- Core.

This report has been prepared In AccordanceCore as our data gathering processes are still in an
evolutionary stage.

Reporting Period

Chairman & Managing


Directors Message
Oil India Limited (OIL) is Indias second largest national
upstream Oil & Gas Company. With its genesis going
back to the discovery of Independents Indias first oil field
in Naharkatiya in Upper Assam in Indias North East, the
Company has operations spread across the country, as
well its presence in five continents of the world. With a
significant national and global footprint, Oil India Limited
plays a vital role in catering to Indias rising energy
demand, contributing its share in towards nation building
and achieving energy security for the country. Alongside,
working towards its goals of generating the energy supply,
the Company is also committed towards ensuring that it
also operates in a sustainable manner with the interest of
the environment and the communities living in and around
its operational areas, foremost in its list of priorities.
Therefore, the Company strives to give its utmost focus
in balancing the three pillars of the triple bottom-line
approach, i.e. the economic, environmental and social
aspects related to every realm of its functioning.
As an Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Company,
OILs main operations involve the exploration, extraction
and transportation of crude oil and natural gas. Fossil
fuels are one of the leading contributors to global carbon
emissions and therefore global warming as well. However,
fossil fuels are the key to the development of our country,
at least over the next few decades (since any large scale
transition to alternative fuels may take some time to
be implemented). Therefore, the need of the hour for
companies like ours is to balance the need to exploit the
traditional hydrocarbon resources and make efforts to
generate energy from new and renewable sources of energy
like wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, etc. We have begun a
humble but determined quest on this front; and currently
have successfully commissioned six wind and solar power
plants that generate and supply over nearly 1,27,000 MWh.
of electricity to the states and national grids on an annual
basis.
Along with managing our environmental impacts, it is
critical for us to pay close attention to the needs of the
local communities that live in and around our areas of
operations. Oil India Limited is a responsible corporate
citizen and undertakes a wide array of CSR initiatives

that focus in domains such as livelihoods generation, skill


development, education, healthcare, augmentation of rural
infrastructure and biodiversity conservation, among others.
As we publish our third annual Sustainability Report
Darpan, we would like to communicate that we have
made an earnest effort in reviewing our performance
across all the three dimensions of this quest (economic,
environmental and social) over the last three years.
From our tentative beginnings in FY 2012-13, where
we reported across twenty-five installations and faced
a myriad of challenges commonly faced by first-time
reporters, to transitioning to the GRI G4 guidelines in our
second year with an increased focus on materiality, to this
year reporting against 26 Material Aspects in AccordanceCore, we have matured significantly across the entire
gamut of processes going in to the publication of a
transparent report, which addresses the concerns of all our
stakeholders. In order to imbibe Sustainability in to every
aspect of the organisations core functioning, we have set
up a multi-layered Sustainable Development Committee for
driving the Company towards setting Sustainability targets
and achieving these milestones in their true letter and spirit.
It is our great pleasure to release Darpan - OILs
Sustainability Report for FY 2014-15. This report discloses
our Economic, Environmental, Social and Governance
related performance and is meant to engage the entire
myriad of our stakeholders in an open and transparent
manner. It is not possible to keep improving without
candid feedback, and we invite all of our stakeholders
to go through this report and share their opinions and
suggestions with us. As the name Darpan (mirror) suggests,
we have made sincere efforts to ensure that this report
reflects the all-round efforts of OIL to fulfil the aspirations
of its diverse stakeholders.
Jai Hind!

Board of Directors Message

In todays dynamic global economic scenario, traditional


measures of success in doing business by focusing
solely on financial performance are quickly becoming
obsolete. With a renewed worldwide focus on concepts
like sustainability reporting and integrated reporting, it
is becoming quite evident that companies will now have
to internalize newer measures of success like triplebottom line performance, which measure companies
not only in terms of financial performance but also
environmental, social and governance performance.
Therefore, it is imperative that we at Oil India Limited,
take into account the various environmental and social
externalities that are increasingly influencing our
business operations.
This trend is certainly bringing in challenges, but at
the same time, it is also providing opportunities for
large energy companies to upgrade their systems and
processes so that all growth happens in a sustainable
manner. We believe that individual islands of prosperity
cannot continue to exist in a sea of poverty and
deprivation. To paraphrase the words of Nobel Laureate
Dr. Amartya Sen, India can no longer afford to be
pockets of California surrounded by the Sudan.
Companies such as ours have a vital role to play in this
process and it is heartening that we have taken steps
to ensure that in addition to using traditional metrics
like financial profitability and efficiency, we are also
using newer tools like the sustainability matrix in order
to integrate the perspectives of our stakeholders into
our decision-making process. This report is a testament
to our new approach which we aim to sustain for the
years to come. Alongside, I would like to reiterate that
we at Oil India Limited shall strive to continue delivering
sound financial performance year on year, in our
committed efforts towards strengthening and enhancing
Indias economic growth.
Mrs. R.S. Borah
Director (Finance)

The global model of development that has hitherto been


followed over the last century and a half, has led to an
alarming resource imbalance, which simplistically put, is
the imbalance between the natural resources available
and mankinds rate of consumption. It is now amply clear
to governments, industry, civil society and the global
community, that development can no longer just mean
resource intensive lifestyles characterised by consumerism
and an energy intensive model of development. It is a
paradigm that has lost much of its credibility in the 21st
century and is being replaced with sustainable models of
growth, even in developed countries.
For an emerging economy like India, where development
is happening at a rapid pace, it is imperative that this is
undertaken in a manner which allows us to maintain the
integrity of our natural resources while ensuring that the
basic needs of all our citizens, such as access to education,
healthcare, livelihoods, energy, etc. are met. Development
should not only mean economic growth, but its definition
should be encapsulated adequately in terms of the global
indicators such as HDI and World Happiness Index.
We at Oil India Limited (OIL) have always taken cognizance
of our role as a responsible corporate citizen and are
continually engaged in achieving process efficiencies in our
hydrocarbon business operations. This is done with a view
to not only improve economic and time related efficiencies,
but also to leverage avenues for efficiencies related to
environmental and social performance. To cite an example,
even one litre of reduction in our water consumption will
make one extra litre of water available to society. It is
our belief in facts such as this that will continue to be the
guiding mantra for our organization, to move forward in
a sustainable manner. The Sustainability Report 201415, Darpan-3, is a summary of our efforts towards
becoming a better corporate citizen, driven by our pursuit
of Sustainability. We invite our stakeholders to go over the
report and share with us candid opinions and comments
on our performance. We would indeed endeavour to

imbibe the learnings from your valuable feedback.


S. Mahapatra
Director (Exploration and Development)

At Oil India Limited (OIL), it is our constant endeavour


to ensure that we carry out our core business of
exploration, development, production and transportation of
hydrocarbons with technological excellence and efficient
processes & systems. For us, technological stewardship
is not merely the key to achieving high performance and
growth; it is also the key to adopting sustainability in the
core business processes of our Company. Innovation has
always been a hallmark of our organisation right from
the outset, as evidenced by the inroads we have made in
technology-intensive activities like improved oil recovery
(IOR) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) schemes to
maximize our production performance.

Sustainability has come to represent a wide array


of things in recent times; however the concept of
sustainability in the Indian culture is an ancient one.
The previous generations of our country did not see
sustainability as something unique but as something
that has been a part of our traditional lifestyle for
centuries. The judicious use of natural resources, the
minimization of waste generation and focus on needs
over wants has always been a hallmark of our society.
However, with the pressures of globalization and an
increasing culture of consumerism, it is increasingly
becoming harder for most of us Indians to consume in a
responsible and sustainable manner.

We have taken this spirit of innovation even into sectors of


alternate energy, such as renewable energy, with a focus
on solar and wind. Solar energy is a great example of how
incremental improvements can turn an erstwhile unviable
technology, into a viable one, within a span of a few years.
We aim at becoming one of the significant players in the
renewables space, to provide sustainable energy solutions
in the long run. As of now, OIL does not produce any
biofuels; however, we have been carrying out R&D activities
for exploring the fruition of this possibility in the future.

Oil India Limited (OIL) has always been committed to


the principles of sustainability even before it became a
part of the modern corporate agenda. We have taken
great steps in terms of managing our environmental
and social impacts, which has catapulted us towards
becoming a Sustainability driven organisation. As
the Director of Human Resources and Business
Development, I am proud of the many initiatives that
we have undertaken to enhance the development of our
employees in ensuring that we create an atmosphere
which is both productive and proactive. At the same
time, we have been strengthening our Corporate Social
Responsibility initiatives, to maximise our outreach
to the local communities living in and around our
operational areas across the country.

In addition to driving technological stewardship in the E&P


industry, it has been our relentless pursuit to be equally
committed towards driving environmental and societal
stewardship in our course of doing business. Through our
focus on Sustainabilitys three interlinked performance
parameters, i.e. Economic, Environmental and Social, we
hope to set industry benchmarks, not only in hydrocarbon
exploration & production, but also in overall Sustainability
performance.
As Director (Operations) of the Company, I take great
pride in the fact that in addition to developing a cohesive
approach in terms of our Sustainability performance, we
have continually expanded the number of operational sites
that fall within the boundary of the Sustainability Report;
starting with 25 installations in FY 2012-13, to covering
our entire India operations and the majority of our overseas
operations in this years report.

Our overseas operations have been expanding over the


last few years and our Company has been evolving in to
a truly global E&P player, bringing in new dimensions
to its operations. For the first time in this report, this
year we have disclosed data related to international
operations, including the number of employees, their
financial data, as well as environmental data. As our
systems in our overseas operations mature over the
coming years, we will aim to bring them completely into
the reporting boundary for subsequent reports.

Stakeholder
Consultation and
Materiality Assessment
Stakeholder Engagement
Our stakeholders are the many internal and external individuals and
organizations who are affected in some way by OILs activities, whether it is
in our role as an energy provider, an employer of choice, or as a company that
generates and distributes revenues and helps to boost local economies, and
nurture local communities. The primary audience for this report are employees,
shareholders and analysts, governments and regulators, business partners,
local organizations, the local communities in which we operate and industry
associations. However, we would invite any and every stakeholder to go over
this report and we would greatly appreciate your feedback in order to improve
our performance even further in the coming years.
For FY 2014-15, we did not conduct a separate stakeholder consultation, since
as per the GRI guidelines organizations are required to carry out stakeholder
consultation once every two years. Also last year our stakeholder consultation
was quite extensive and included members from the local communities, OILs
senior management, officers and workforce and we felt that their responses
would still remain relevant for this reporting year as well.

40 |

How we engage our stakeholders


Employees
OIL uses a range of internal
communications channels to
keep our employees informed
about the context within
which they work. We maintain
regular communication with
unions at all OIL sites around
the world

Our industry
OIL is mainly an upstream
company and we sell our
products to some of the
leading companies in India.
We are members of many
industry associations and
constantly stay abreast with
the latest developments in
the sector

Local Communities

Given the nature of our


operations where a number of
local communities are located
in and around our operational
sites we stay in touch with them
through numerous channels in
order to stay responsive to their
ever changing needs

Contractors/partners
Like our industry peers, OIL
rarely works in isolation. Safe
and responsible operations
depend on the capability and
performance of our suppliers,
contractors and partners. To
this end, we set standards
through legally binding
contracts

Shareholders/analysts
OIL engages with
shareholders and analysts
annually through our Annual
General Meetings. We also
engage them throughout the
year through information on
our website, through press
releases and many other fora

Customers

Government/regulators

OIL is a business to
business company as we
sell our products directly
to downstream oil and gas
companies. Therefore in the
absence of traditional feedback
mechanisms we engage our
buyers directly and regularly to
ascertain their needs

We engage with governments


on many fronts, from
consultation responses to
direct engagement with
government representatives.
As a PSU we are also required
to respond to questions raised
by parliamentarians in the Lok
Sabha and Rajya Sabha

Local Organizations

Media

A number of local organizations


are present in our areas of
operations and we routinely
consult with them for selection
and implementation of social
projects in order to stay
responsive to the needs of local
communities

OIL engages with the media


directly through our Public
Relations and Corporate
Communications department.
The media also helps us engage
with society through news
articles detailing our various
social and environmental
projects

Materiality Analysis

Materiality Determination Process


Step 1: We began the Materiality Analysis by first
dividing our stakeholders into two broad categoriesExternal and Internal. One interesting outcome was
the fact that the Government is both an external
stakeholder in its role as a regulator, but since we are
a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), the Government
is also an internal stakeholder. The table below lists
all of our external and internal stakeholders.
Internal
Stakeholders

External Stakeholders

Employees

Oil and Gas companies

Shareholders

Local Communities

Government

Tea Gardens
Local Organizations
Government/regulators
Contractors/partners
Suppliers & Service providers
Customers
Media

Step 2: We then conducted one-on-one interviews


and discussions with representatives of local
communities and OILs senior management, focus
group discussions with the Officers Association and
Labour Union representatives, and took feedback
from the Materials and Contracts department to
gauge the feedback from vendors and buyers in
order to create the prioritization matrix provided
below. The importance assigned to various aspects
was derived partly from feedback provided by the
stakeholders and partly based on the discussions of
the Sustainable Development Core Committee.

The content of this report has been developed


based on the principles of Materiality as per the
requirements of the GRI G4 guidelines. Materiality
Analysis is the systematic review of current and
future business risks and opportunities based on
the feedback from engaging external and internal
stakeholders. The Materiality Analysis was carried
out as per the framework laid out by the GRI G4
guidelines and we will continue to use this framework
for all future reporting ventures.

How Materiality Influences Our Report


Our Materiality process allows us to assign tangible rankings to all the future and current business
risks and opportunities that we could foreseeably face, thereby, allowing us to prioritize the level of
discussion and details with which to address each topic. For our report, even though we have ranked
all the Material Aspects on a scale of low to medium to high, we will address each Aspect equally as we
believe that an Aspect that might be of low importance today but could become more important in the
future. Therefore, we have taken equal care to report on each and every identified Material Aspect.

46 |

How Materiality Will Evolve


The process defining materiality continues to evolve and will be evaluated by the sustainability committee
on a bi-annual basis to ensure that it aligns with our current operations and understanding of our
stakeholders needs and priorities. As we further engage our stakeholders and conduct internal reviews
of our materiality assessment, it is likely that our materiality assessment will change. This is part of
the natural evolution of sustainability management within a company and will be reflected in our annual
sustainability report.

Disclosures on
Management Approach
Given our change to GRI G4 guidelines where we need to report a DMA for each
and every Material Aspect identified, we decided to include in one section right
after the Materiality Analysis in order to set the tone for the report and to help
readers avoid the confusion of trying to find them in individual sections of the
report. Our entire list of DMAs is given in the next page

Disclosure on Management Approach (DMA)

1.

Economic Performance

OIL like any company is driven by its economic performance. Our vision
includes our commitment to being the fastest growing energy company
with the highest profitability. Our traditional economic indicators can
be found in the section Oil India Limited-Profile and our GRI indicator
specific information can be found in the section Economic Performance.

2.

Market Presence

OIL believes in maintaining national market presence focusing on local


areas of operations for hiring as much as possible. This information has
been disclosed in the Economic Performance section of this Report.

3.

Indirect Economic
Impacts

It is important to use the revenue generated by us to increase our indirect


economic benefits by providing jobs and the building of infrastructure. This
information has been disclosed in the Economic Performance section of
this Report.

4.

Reserves

As an Oil and gas company our Reserves are the ultimate indicator of our
future, we take great care to maintain these reserves. This information has
been disclosed in the Economic Performance section of this Report.

Environment
5.

Energy

As an Oil and Gas company, we pay close attention to our energy


consumption both direct and indirect. As disclosed in our Environmental
Performance section, we have wide-ranging energy conservation practices
in place in order to reduce our fossil fuel and hydrocarbon consumption.
We are also currently in the process of installing energy meters in all of
our installations. The company aims to reduce our energy consumption
year on year and we have stringent standards in place to ensure this.

6.

Water

Water is a key input in our operational practices especially during


extraction. We are currently in the process of having water meters
installed in all of our installations to measure our water consumption
more accurately and therefore manage it more effectively. Our water
management practices have been disclosed in the Environmental
Performance section of this Report.

7.

Biodiversity

OIL has a few operational sites located in and around biodiversity rich
zones in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, as well in other spheres of
operation. We have launched a conservation program to protect the
habitat of the Endangered Hoolock Gibbon which is a IUCN Red List
species found in few sites in and around our operational areas. We are
committed to expand this program to other sites of biodiversity rich/
wildlife hotspots.

8.

Emissions

OIL is aware that emissions data is extremely important for us, so we have
initiated a Carbon Footprint Study that will give us a more exact measure
of our overall carbon footprint.

9.

Effluents/Waste

We are cognizant of the importance of managing our effluents and waste


effectively. The data related to our waste and treatment methods have
been disclosed in the Environmental Performance section of this Report.

11.

Environmental Grievance
Mechanism

OIL has a robust environmental grievance mechanism in place, with our


Safety, Environmental, Public Relations and Corporate Communications
departments receiving complaints from the local communities. The
concerned departments address these complaints expeditiously to ensure
that there are no pending grievances. It is not feasible for us to have
separate mechanism for social and environmental grievances since the
issues are intertwined in our areas of operation. We aim to address every
single environmental grievance we receive expeditiously.

12.

Fossil Fuel Substitute

We understand the need to diversify our fuel mix given the toll placed by
hydrocarbons and fossil fuels on the environment. We currently have six
wind and solar installations that are helping us improve the contribution
of renewables in our overall energy mix. We currently do not produce
any fossil fuel substitutes but are efforts to do so are disclosed in the
Environmental Performance section of this Report.

Labour

50 |

13.

Employment

OIL is a preferred employer all over India but particularly in North-Eastern


India. To maintain this status, we are constantly trying to improve our
performance towards our employees and our HR and L&D Departments
have taken the lead in this area. This data has been disclosed in Our
People section of this Report.

14.

Occupational Health and


Safety

of our employees. This data has been disclosed in Our People section of
this Report.

15.

Training and Education

Our L&D Department is responsible from all training and career


development initiatives at OIL. We constantly monitor our training data so
as to keep improving our performance. We also liaise with our employees
to determine their needs and accordingly tailor programs, workshops,
seminars etc.. Our training related data has been disclosed in the Our
People section of this Report.

16.

Diversity and Equal


Opportunity

OIL takes great pride in the diversity of our workplace and the equal
opportunities provided to all of our employees in terms of salaries and
professional growth. This data has been disclosed in Our People section
of the Report.

17.

Equal Remuneration

OIL like any Indian PSU is mandatorily required to pay equal remuneration
to men , women and members of all minority communities. This is
monitored by the Central Government and this data has been disclosed in
the Our People section of this Report.

18.

Labour Practices
Grievance Mechanisms

We have a robust labour grievance mechanism in place like any company


that works with a number of labour unions. We constantly engage our
Officers Association and Labour Union in order to understand their
concerns and resolve them before filing of an official grievance. This is the
reason why in FY 2014-15 not a single labour grievance was filed. This
information has been disclosed in Our People section of this Report.

Human Rights
19.

Freedom of Association
and Collective Bargaining

OIL believes in upholding the rights of people to take up any employment


of their own volition. We strictly monitor all our operations to ensure that
no one is employed against their will; this is also against the law of the
land which we uphold at all times. This information is disclosed in Social
Performance section of this Report.

20.

Child Labour

OIL does not hire child labour at any of our operations and we constantly
monitor our suppliers and vendors to ensure that they also do not employ
child labour. This information is disclosed in Social Performance section
of this Report.

21.

Indigenous Rights

OILs operations invariably bring us into contact with indigenous people


like the Tea Garden workers and other indigenous communities, and we
pride ourselves in our responsible engagement with them in order to
protect their rights. This information is disclosed in Social Performance
section of this Report.

22.

Forced or Compulsory
Labour

We constantly monitor our operations and suppliers for risk of forced


or compulsory labour. We follow the law of the land which prohibits
forced or compulsory labour. This information is disclosed in Social
Performance section of this Report.

Society
23.

Local Communities

We conduct thorough needs assessment studies/ baseline studies before


implementing our CSR projects; this allows the projects to be in tune with
needs of the local communities. This information is disclosed in the Social
Performance section of this Report. This year we have set ourselves
targets for the construction of 1,471 toilets under the Prime Ministers
Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in 7 districts in Assam. We have also created
2,257 employment opportunities under project Swabalamban, besides
creating 250 SHGs and 250 JLGs under Rupantar.

24.

Anti-Corruption

We follow all government mandated requirements to screen for potential


cases of corruption. We continue to strengthen our systems in this regard
and take severe action against all violations. This information is disclosed
in Social Performance section of this Report.

25.

Grievance Mechanisms

OIL has a robust social grievance mechanism in place, with our Safety,
Environmental, Public Relations and Corporate Communications
departments receiving and complaints from the local communities. They
then address these complaints expeditiously to ensure that there are no
pending grievances. It is not feasible for us to have separate mechanism
for social and environmental grievances since the issues are intertwined in
our areas of operation. We aim to address every single social grievance we
receive.

26.

Emergency Preparedness

Exploration and exploitation of oil and gas prospects are more susceptible
to surprises. In the competitive world companies need to be ready to
effectively combat these unwanted surprising incidences and also minimize
their happenings by adapting healthy practices and putting in place suitable
systems to effectively deal with them. Identification, mitigation and
management of risks are the three important factors that a company needs
to look into for adding value to the business. Crisis Management team in
an E&P company is a mandatory requirement. Keeping this requirement
in mind a CMT Team was formed in OIL to handle and coordinate the
crisis and started functioning from 1st April, 2009 from a temporary set
up at NIA in Drilling Department. Since this aspect is an Oil and Gas
Sector DMA with no accompanying indicators, it has not been mentioned
anywhere else in this Report.
Oil India Limited Sustainability Report 2014-15 | 51

Economic Performance

Sustainability at the corporate level cannot be achieved solely through environment and social
responsibility. Financial responsibility is critical to making a company sustainable over the
long-run. OIL is a source of economic productivity and employment generation across its
various operational sites. We believe that a responsible company has a duty to drive economic
growth in its areas of operations and OIL has always been a source of economic productivity
and employment generation across our various operational sites. In this section of our
Sustainability Report we disclose details of our financial performance, our
employees standard wages and defined employee benefit plans,
our local hiring practices, our expenditure on infrastructure development,
our estimated proved reserves and production, indirect economic impacts
and the financial risks and opportunities posed by climate change.

Key Impacts, Risks and Opportunities (G4-EC2)


As an Oil and Gas Company, climate change is
an extremely vital driver for our industry given
the global initiative to switch the cleaner fuels
increasingly. This of course affects the demand for
our core products. However, we believe that climate
change also provides us with the opportunity to
diversify our fuel mix and to continue to transition
into a modern energy company with equal emphasis
on traditional fossil fuels as well as new and
renewable energy sources. Fossil fuels will continue
to play a vital role in the development of the whole
world for the next few decades, which is why it is
imperative for companies like Oil India Limited to
continue to innovate and reduce the environmental
impact of our operations.
The Oil & Gas sector has been beset by an economic
downturn with the price of crude oil dropping
steadily over the last 18 months. This is mainly
being driven by excess supply in the crude oil market
which is causing prices to continue sliding. This
scenario is unlikely to reverse during the year with
demand guaranteed to fall after the summer season
which sees an increase in petroleum consumption
by vehicles in North America and Europe. A renewed
focus on switching to cleaner sources of energy
driven by global climate change negotiations is
also contributing to lower demand for fossil fuels.

54 |

Therefore, it is essential for companies like Oil India


Limited to diversify into renewable sources like wind
and solar. In order to achieve this we set up the
Centre for Excellence for Energy Studies to increase
our research into unconventional hydrocarbons as
well as alternative energy sources. Our focus on
Renewables has allowed us to generate 1,27,427
MWh of renewable energy from our wind and solar
power installation in FY 2014-15.
Another important consideration for Oil and
Gas companies is the social perception of our
operations. The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the
Gulf Mexico has created a global debate regarding
the exploration and production practices employed
by Oil and Gas companies. In such a scenario,
we have responded by increasing our focus on
engaging with local communities in and around
our areas of operation. We also take great care
during exploration and production to ensure that
our environmental impacts are minimized. We also
follow the precautionary principle when it comes
to our environmental risk management (G4-14).
This is best exemplified by the fact that we have
been operating in biodiversity hot-spots for almost
sixty years and our operations have never had any
significant environmental or social impacts on the
local communities.

Indirect Economic Impacts (G4-EC8)


Our Company is responsible for significant indirect economic impacts in our areas of operation. We have
provided large scale employment opportunities to the people living near our units. Our existence has also
provided a boost to the local economy with our workers and executives often availing of products and services
produced by the people living near our units. Duliajan for example, as a town would not have existed were it
not for our operations, a majority of the people living in and around Duliajan are either directly or indirectly
generating their livelihoods from Oil India Limited.

Estimated proved reserves and production (G4-OG1)

Conclusion
In this section we have provided disclosures related to GRI G4s Economic indicators. Corporate Sustainability
can only be possible if it occurs simultaneously with financial sustainability. The days when a companys
performance was measured solely using their bottom-line is now a thing of the past. In todays world financial
performance includes the economic value distributed, estimation of key risks and opportunities posed by
climate change, estimation of our indirect impacts, our expenditure on local infrastructure development, our
wage, benefit plan and local hiring policy and details of payments made to central and state governments for
royalty cess and tax payments etc. These disclosures help make us a better company and this is the ultimate
objective from our perspective when it comes to Sustainability Reporting. In the next section of this report we
will look at our Environmental Performance during FY 2014-15.

Our Energy Consumption (G4- EN 3)


Choice of energy sources is the main aspect in determining the
environmental footprint of an organization. So a balance between energy
source and energy consumption is required to control the fluctuation
in energy supply and pricing and at the same time decreasing the GHG
emission level. We at OIL India Limited (OIL) are striving to strike a
perfect balance between renewable and non-renewable sources of energy
and our goals for increasing the share of the later remains astute.

Number and percentage of significant operating sites in which biodiversity


risk has been assessed and monitored (G4-OG 4)
We at Oil India Limited ( OIL) have carried out Environmental Impact Assessment for the year 2014-15 to
assess, identify and monitor sites where biodiversity risk are prevalent, the detailed methodology and the
name of the sites are listed in the table below
Development of new units and expansion of
existing units are governed by Indian laws, which
mandate the undertaking of comprehensive EIA
studies,
These studies suggest suitable safeguards for
preventing any adverse impacts on bio-diversity.
During the year 2014-15, OIL carried out 2
EIA studies in its upcoming fields in Assam and
Arunachal Pradesh.
For each of OILs operational sites post 2011,
OIL has assessed the biodiversity risk and has an
environmental management plans in compliance
to the environmental regulations, which includes
forest, wildlife and biodiversity conservation.

However, OIL has not assessed and monitored


the biodiversity risk across the operational
areas.
The EIA reports are prepared based on baseline
data collected over a span of 3-4 month in each
operational block. The study includes baseline
environmental conditions and Environment Impact
Assessment is carried out on parameters like
Physiography and Topography, Soils quality, Water
Resources and Water Quality, Climatology and
Meteorology, Ambient Air Quality, Noise, Land Use
etc. Based on the results, Environment management
plans and environment monitoring programs is
made. Additionally, risk assessment is carried out
and disaster management plan is made.

Sites where Biodiversity risk has been assessed


Jairampur PEL Block ,Changlang District, Arunachal Pradesh
Teok Block, District - Jorhat, Assam
Khajorijan Block, Dibrugarh/ Tinsukia District, Assam

Emissions of Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS) (G4-EN 20)


We at Oil India Limited have phased out the use of Ozone Depleting Substances. Use of Ozone like
Halon & Freon 12 has been replaced with eco-friendly chemicals like Freon 34.

Water Discharge Quality (G4-EN 22)


We at Oil India Limited believe in conservation of water and optimizing the water requirement for our
operations. We are proud to report that we do not discharge water outside our Duliajan site. The table

Volume and Disposal of Produced


Water (G4- OG 5)

For the year 2014-15 there are no reportable oil spills. Formation or produced water is unique to the oil
and gas sector . Produced water has the potential
to create environmental harm, and is therefore
controlled industry wide. Produced water may
contain process chemicals and contaminants that are
naturally occurring in oil and gas reservoirs, including
hydrocarbons, salt, and heavy metals.
For the reporting year 2014/15, we at OIL have
produced 30,75,170 Kilo litres of water from our
operations in Arunachal Pradesh and Assam region.
Hydrocarbon discharge from the above produced
water was found out to be nil. 100% of the water
produced was re-injected back to the process for
further usage.

Volume of flared and vented


hydrocarbon (G4- OG 6)
The gas produced in association with oil is either
flared or vented. This remains a major source of
emission. Since the infrastructure available to reuse
these valuable energy sources are not available these
gases poses high safety risk to the community and
contributes extensively to GHGs and pollutants.
Since it is very difficult to reduce flaring and venting
to 0, we at OIL is extra vigilant to the amount of
energy resources that are waste through flaring and
venting. The table below shows the volume of gas
and hydrocarbon that are vented or flared in our
Arunachal Pradesh and Assam sites.

Drilling wastes are generated in huge quantity and they contain chemical additives and hydrocarbon products
which if released in an uncontrolled manner into the environment will adversely impact the vegetation, flora

Production of Biofuels (OG14)


Biofuels
OIL does not currently produce any biofuels, but
we understand the need to diversify our fuel mix
and our currently engaged in extensive research and
development so as to be in a position to produce bio
fuels in the future. Some of the initiatives are listed
below.
1. Screening of endophytic fungi having biofuel
generation potential from biodiesel plants of
Assam:
A Collaborative Research project with Department of
Biotechnology & Bioinformatics NEHU, Shillong to
screen novel endophytic fungi capable of producing
biofuels is ongoing. Under this collaborative research
project some promising fungal species have been
characterized using morphological, biochemical and
genetic techniques. Studies on their lipid profiles
and ability to generate fuel related compounds
are currently ongoing. This project is expected to
generate a repository of biofuel producing microbes
suitable for commercialization and also lead to
development of expertise in a key new technology
area for ensuring Indias Energy Security.

technologies available in the public domain during last


quarter of 2014 and attempts to provide a concise
overview of the field implementable technologies
available, for commercialization of an algal biofuels
production by Oil lndia Limited. Efforts are currently
on towards contacting some of the technology
providers as identified during the survey of field
implementable technologies for a future collaborative
venture into Biofuels Production.

2. Generation of a strategy document in the


area of Algal Biofuels (R&D Note 229):

Development of Eco-Friendly and


Eco-Sustainable Oil Field Chemicals

Production of biofuels from algae finds a mention


in OILs Strategic & Corporate Plan (2011-2020),
however for algae to mature as an economically viable
platform to offset petroleum there are a number of
issues to overcome ranging from how and where to
grow these algae, to improving oil extraction and
fuel processing. ln the recently concluded OILs E&D
Conference held at Neemrana, Rajasthan, Director
(HR&BD) had advised R&D Department is working
on strategy document in the area of Algal Biofuels.
based on the result of an extensive survey of the

Development of Oil Field Chemicals with novel


chemistries that are environmentally safe and less
toxic is a continuous process. R&D department has
over the years taken numerous initiatives towards this
end and one such initiative currently is Antimicrobial
and Anticorrosion effect of Medicinal and Aromatic
Plants (MAP) on Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB).
The proposed project would therefore evaluate the
efficacy of essential oils of Medicinal and Aromatic
Plants (MAPs) in managing SRB population and
corrosive behaviour in laboratory conditions.

Conclusion
In this section we have provided disclosures related to GRI G4s Environmental indicators. To grow and develop
in a sustainable manner, it is recommended to have a regulatory & monitoring process where the environmental
indicators are periodically measured and benchmarked with the baseline. We, at OIL have successfully
monitored and regulated the following Environmental performance indicator s which includes the type of
energy sources and the total energy consumed by the organizations operations, amount of investment made
for installing Renewable Energy plants, the effects of the organizations operations on the nearby biodiversity
hot spots, amount of waste generated and the methodology of treating and disposing them, water recycling
and reusability process and methodology and energy emission from direct and indirect sources. We look
forward to increase the share of our renewable energy, invest more on R&Ds to reduce the amount of vented
& flared gases and thereby reusing the wasted energy in our operations and extensively collaborate with global
technology providers and experts to remain updated on technologies and methodologies for waste disposal,
water recycling and emission reduction. In the next section of this report we will look at our Social & Human
Rights Performance during FY 2014-15.

Our Community and


Social Performance

We believe that business cannot exist as a separate entity from society. Our day to day
operations are often performed at sites located near tea gardens, small towns and villages.
Besides the responsibility that we have towards the society at large, as a PSU, we have a very
distinct and specific responsibility to the people in our spheres of operation. We take this
responsibility with high priority and in this section of the report we will first discuss our Social
Performance during FY 2014-15 which has been structured around the Material Aspects
identified through our Materiality Analysis. In the second part of this section we will discuss
in depth the various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects undertaken by Oil India
Limited to give back to the communities in which we operate.

Oil India Limited Sustainability Report 2014-15 | 75

In view of the diverse backgrounds in which Oil India Limited has to perform its social responsibilities, the
CSR vision statement was co-created by a cross functional INTACT team across the Company in the year
2003-04. The CSR vision statement was embedded as one of the core vision statements of the Company
which mandates Oil India Limited to operate in a legal, ethical and economic environment, committed towards
the society, to contribute to sustainable socio-economic development in its areas of operation for the
community, employees and their families, shareholders, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders in ways
that enhance the value for both the business and society. Every single one of our spheres of operations carries
out some form of CSR.

Key Expenditures under CSR activities


The total spending under CSR in the FY 2014-15 was Rs 133.31 crores. Ensuring that the CSR projects
and schemes are implemented within set timelines will go a long way to reducing the trust deficit
between Oil India Limited and the stakeholders. Continued publicity of the CSR projects and impact
in itself also helps in creating desired awareness of the good that Oil India Limited is doing for the
community. The greatest challenge for Oil India Limited is that it has to operate in a region best known
as a cauldron of ethnic strife and countless groups of separatist and subversive outfits; a region plagued
by senseless violence, corruption, lack of infrastructure and political volatility. The core philosophy on
corporate social responsibility in Oil India Limited is the firm conviction that islands of prosperity cannot
survive in a sea of poverty. The spending under each heads has been illustrated below.

Operations with significant actual and potential negative impacts on local


communities (G4 -SO2)
We, at Oil India Limited in collaboration with our community, analyse the potential impacts of our operations
before setting up any new project and during any expansion of existing projects, so as to address the concerns
of the community. The EIA reports have shown a positive impact on the community due to our operations. To
address the potential negative impacts, we have adequate situation (analysis systems) assessment studies/
baseline studies and equipment in place that go beyond regulatory requirement. The Company also has off site
emergency plan to mitigate the impact of any unlikely event as required by the local regulations. In FY 201415 none of our operations had any significant potential or negative impacts on local communities

cannot be effectively and safely managed by available resources within the installation and additional support
is alerted or required from Companys resource available in the particular sphere (such as FHQ/PHQ/Project )
This plan would serve as a basic document for Disaster Management Plan Mutual Aid (Level III)

Oil India Limited Sustainability Report 2014-15 | 81

Level III- Disaster Management Plan (Mutual Aid


Onsite & Offsite) is a plan made for an emergency
or incident which cannot be effectively and safely
managed by available resources at Companys
FHQ/PHQ/Project level and additional support is
warranted from the neighboring industries and
district administrative authorities. It has the potential
to have off site impacts which could be of such a
magnitude that is likely to affect the population,
property and environment inside and outside the
installation. This plan finally falls under the purview
of the concerned District Authority .As per the
Institutional Framework each district has its own
district disaster management authority(DDMA)
chaired by the Deputy Commissioner .However,
till they step in , the Chief co-coordinator of the
industry/sphere is responsible to manage.

Activation of Disaster Management


at various levels:
The installation level (Level- I) DMP is activated
by the installation manager who is the site
coordinator(SC) at site in case of any emergency.
In case, the emergency cannot be contained
at installation level and requires mobilization

of additional resources, the installation manager


shall immediately inform the sectional Head and
Head of the department as per the line of command
in the installation level DMP. The concerned
sectional in-charge or Head of Department will
inform Head of FHQ/PHQ/Project Head as
well as Head of Safety and Environment
Department/Safety Officer of the sphere.
Simultaneously, on receipt of information, the
concerned S&E representative will also inform
the Head of sphere (FHQ/PHQ/Project Head)
respectively.
In case the emergency requires mobilization of
resources from the sphere (FHQ/PHQ/Project,
etc), the Onsite level (Level II) DMP of OIL is
activated by the Chief Coordinator. Respective
Head of the sphere (FHQ/PHQ/Project) will be
the Chief Coordinator (CC) and will exercise
control through the Coordinator. Alternate
Chief Coordinator for the emergency will also be
designated for the said Plan and will be the next
senior most officers in the line of command.
In case the emergency is likely to affect the
population, property and environment inside and
outside the installation and requires mobilization
of resources beyond OIL capabilities, the Level
III DMP (Mutual Aid Onsite & Offsite) will be
activated initially by the Head of Sphere till such
time District Authority takes over as the Chief
Coordinator (CC) and accordingly all cleared
signals will be cleared by District Authority.
However, the mutual Aid scheme is under the
purview of the District Authority.
When the emergency is of such magnitude that
it is gradually affecting the normal pattern of life
within the industrial complex and gets suddenly
disrupted and in certain cases affects the
neighborhood seriously and requires Corporate
and National intervention , assistance from
other work sphere/ agencies are sought
through corporate intervention. Corporate Level
(Level-IV) DMP is then activated.

Human Rights Management


Freedom of Associations and
Collective Bargaining (G4-HR4)
Freedom of association refers to the right of workers
and employers to establish organizations which have
the means to promote and defend the interests of
their members through collective bargaining. We
uphold and support the freedom of association by
ensuring our employees the right to redress and
address their needs and grievances through collective
bargaining. The same is also in accordance with UN
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is subject
to ILO Core Conventions No. 87 & No 98. Our
Employee Association engages with the management
through structured as well as informal mechanisms.
We have been extremely vigilant in the operations
where freedom of association might be at risk. For
the last four years we have not had any incidents
that might violate the rights to exercise freedom
of Association and collective bargaining. We have
organized discussion sessions with the Officers
Association for understanding their basic needs
and developing plan of action for acting on those
requirements. We ensure all around participation
in the events of both formal and informal workers
union. We also travel an extra mile to provide the
following information and workshops to workers
participating in labour associations

Respect for civil liberties


Convention No. 87: Freedom of
Association and Protection of the
Right to Organize
Convention No. 98: Right to

Child Labour (G4-HR5)


Child labour refers to the employment of children in
any work that deprives children of their childhood,
interferes with their ability to attend regular school,
and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally
dangerous and harmful. We strongly condemn the
use of child labour and the nature of our operations
that require years of training and experience to carry
out are a natural barrier to prevent child labour. OIL
ensures that every single one of its installations is
routinely monitored to ensure that no child labour is
employed in any of them. We also perform a rigorous
process of due diligence before employing suppliers
to ensure that there is no incidence of child labour in
their operations among other ills.

Forced or Compulsory Labour


(G4-HR6)
We at OIL believe that employees are not to be
subjected to forced or compulsory labour which
is also a fundamental provision of human rights.
The same is also in accordance with UN Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and is subject to
ILO Core Conventions 29 & 105. We prohibit
the deployment of forced labour across our entire
operations. For the current reporting period we
did not have a single operation or any significant
suppliers exposed to the risk of forced or compulsory
labour. We also perform a rigorous process of due
diligence before employing suppliers to ensure that
there is no incidence of forced or bonded labour in
their operations among other social ills.

Conclusion
OIL is proud of its community initiatives as we have initiated numerous projects, all of which fall within the
identified areas of the Schedule VII Activities of the Companies Act. OIL believes in responsible stewardship
of our communities and given the size and influence of our operations especially in North-Eastern India, our
commitment is not merely a gesture but an inherent responsibility. OIL believes that starting point should
be our own neighbourhood and all of our CSR initiatives begin at home and then spread outwards. OIL has
maintained its commitment towards eschewing unethical business practices like child labour and forced and
compulsory labour. We look forward to deepening our commitment to society in the future and reporting about
them in the years to come. In the next section of this report we will look at our Labour Performance during FY
2014-15.

thereby also meeting our own organizational expectations. The second part
of the approach is providing Learning and Development opportunities to our
people to help them build the skills necessary to improve and maintain their job
performance, while also imbuing them with the knowledge needed to further
build their careers at OIL. The last part of our approach is to ensure a safe and
healthy workplace as many of our operations are quite challenging. Therefore,
ensuring our workers safety is of paramount importance. We also pay close
attention to the health of our non-field employees as well, as they too can be
prone to numerous health related issues at the work place.
